Managing Director’s New Year Message
                                                                Dear colleagues and friends of JEL,

                                                                D    uring this time last year, my direction for you was continued growth, achieve
                                                                     higher sales and profit, and to maintain our “zero accident” safety record
                                                                despite all the challenges that lay ahead.
                                                                    Even though 2009 had been a relatively good year for us, I was confident that
                                                                with your continued support and commitment, we would do even better in 2010.
                                                                Bolstered by a quick economic recovery in 2010, I am proud to announce that we
                                                                have succeeded in surpassing our 2009 performance. In fact, we not only met, but
                                                                have even exceeded our forecasted sales and growth target for 2010. However, we
                                                                should not be complacent and shall work towards maintaining our growth target
                                                                of 7% for this year.
                                                                    We have also managed to maintain our “zero accident” safety record for 2010,
                                                                and shall continue doing so. We must continue to be vigilant at work sites at all
                                                                times and uphold the highest safety standards to maintain this safety record.
                                                                    This year, my direction for you is to strengthen our capabilities and resources
                                                                in the engineering and maintenance services, and also to strengthen our presence
                                                                in new and existing territories. With the proper mindset, I am confident that we
                                                                will be able to achieve our targets and overcome each and every obstacle along
                                                                the way.
                                                                    I am aware that without the support and commitment of our clients, partners
                                                                and most importantly your effort, our targets would not have been achieved. I
                                                                thank all of you for your continued support, commitment and effort.
                                                                    I am happy to share this achievement with all of you and let us not forget to
                                                                continue to work harder towards a better year ahead.
Mr Seiichi Daita, Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer         I wish you all good health and a happy, prosperous and productive 2011.

for the construction of civil foundations including
piling works, building works, building services and
infrastructure works. The scope also includes the
supply of all civil and building materials. The total

elevated the party mood.
     To kick-off a good start for the year, we all participated in the
‘Prosperity Toss’, or as the Chinese call it, ‘Lou Hei’. The practice
of tossing the raw fish salad or ‘yu sheng’ symbolise wishes for
abundance, prosperity and vigour.
     The base ingredients of various shredded vegetables and pickles
were first served. The emcee then led diners in adding the other
ingredients such as raw fish, crackers and sauces while reciting
“auspicious wishes” as each ingredient was added. All diners then
stood up and on cue, proceeded to use their chopsticks to toss
the ingredients enthusiastically into the air, while saying various
“auspicious wishes” out loud.
